Razor launches smartphone with 120Hz display and 4000mAh battery

Belinda Lindsey

Razer has built some genuinely good gaming laptops, but the smartphone market is harder to break into, particularly given how competitive the space is already. In addition, thanks to technology Ultramotion, the refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU. This is further backed up by dual amplifiers, an audio adapter with THX certified DAC and Dolby Atmos Audio experience through which the sound quality can be customised depending on what you wish to use on the phone. As for the processor, it's not anything fancy: just a regular QualcommSnapdragon 835 processor found on almost all flagships this year.

There are also dual 12-megapixel rear cameras, and, keeping with the annoying fad created by Apple, there's no headphone jack. Backing the device is a 4000mAh battery.

Following several leaks, Razer has now unveiled its smartphone, the company's first attempt to make waves in the mobile landscape.

The Razer Phone's sleek, 8-mm-thin aluminum body is a beauty to behold and to hold. In the U.S. and Canada, Microsoft is the exclusive in-store partner for the phone and will be carrying a select set of limited edition of phones with the green Razer logo.

Dave Dyson, CEO at Three UK, said: "My ambition is always to innovate in ways that deliver better experiences to our customers and a partnership with Razer is a flawless fit". However, core gamers - the target audience of the Razer Phone - do not care much about the looks. Razer has swapped the Robin's bright blue-and-white plastic shell for a matte black aluminium one.

There's also an absolutely massive 4,000 mAh battery, which promises an entire day of play. The Nubia Z17 was the first device featuring the new Quick Charge 4+.

The Razer Phone boasts Android Nougat 7.1.1. when it arrives, while Android Oreo 8.0 is expected to be added in early 2018. It features "the world's first 120 Hz UltraMotion™ display" using the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile chip and 8GB of RAM.
